April 2010

Point Cook’s nationally acclaimed home address, ‘Alamanda’, by Villawood Properties, was a mecca for the hungry and thirsty on Saturday 17 April as it hosted its inaugural Food and Wine Expo.

Over 200 people attended the day which included cooking demonstrations and food and wine tastings including a selection of gourmet cheese, seafood, cakes, specialty breads and more.

In celebration of the opening of the new Alamanda Café and Providore, cooking demonstrations by café director and head chef, David Williams, offered café-goers an insight into the quality of cuisine now available at the new eatery.

Celebrating the official opening of the region’s highly anticipated café and restaurant, the expo event included a jazz band and kid’s activities as well as a visit from Villawood’s ‘Waddles’ the Platypus.

March 2010

A fun day was had by all at Doreen’s new community ‘Eminence’, by Villawood Properties, as the estate hosted a family fun day full of Easter spirit at ‘Graff’s Park’ on Sunday 21 March.

Gearing up for the Easter weekend, over 100 people attended the day which was filled with fun kid’s activities including a jumping castle, animal farm, face painting, colouring activities and Easter-egg giveaways.

A visit from Villawood’s ‘Waddles the Platypus’ dressed up as the Easter Bunny, was welcomed by kids of all ages with plenty of chocolate to satisfy even the sweetest of sweet tooths.

Event-goers enjoyed the sounds of live jazz in the park at Eminence as well as the complimentary barbeque supplied by the local Doreen Rotary Club.

August 2009

Villawood Properties master-planned development ‘Marriott Waters’ has received a green thumbs-up from the local community, following the estate’s involvement with Planet Ark’s National Tree Day on Sunday 2 August.

Residents of the estate and members of the local community gathered at Marriott Waters and, with the aid of a City of Casey council representatives joined forces to get their hands dirty planting 350 trees towards an environmentally friendly future.

The volunteers effectively transformed one of Marriott Waters open reserves into what will become a lush, green haven for the ample wildlife already calling the estate’s wetlands home.

The hard-working volunteers were treated to a free barbeque provided by the CFA following the tree planting exercise, as well as a visit from ‘Waddles the Platypus’, the Villawood mascot who was busy helping kids plant throughout the day.

June 2008

Guests were treated to a delicious barbeque cooked by the local Hampton Park CFA and served by the ladies of their Auxiliary, as well as freshly brewed coffee and hot drinks in the arquee, families were able to warm up and enjoy listening to the soothing sounds of the jazz trio.

The children had a fantastic time on the jumping castle and playing with the animals in the animal farm, as well as having their faces painted and enjoying the fun antics of the magician performing tricks and handing out balloon animals.
